How difficult an instrument is the banjo to learn? I can play play the guitar (thats not to say I can play well!) I'm slowly (key word here is slowly)learning the piano, I've tried messing about on a harmonica but can't really find any guidance for that!


I know the initial question is difficult to answer but any kind of response would be appreciated! Ta y'all


PS I'm also considering purchasing a Ukelele, is that weird??

i am infinitely impressed by banjo players. one of my friends bought a univox banjo, but it's kind of crap aside from the novelty, and he does not understand the playing it part. sigh.


good luck with your musical pursuits!

smileys/smiley1.gifCool, glad you like it.


Hope the lessons on the site are good. I came across it a while ago when I started to learn to play guitar. Didn't do much with the site though as I got a friend to start teaching me instead.
